Description: Salammbo by Gustave Flaubert An epic story combining lust, cruelty, riches, ritual and sensuality, few French historical novels can stand comparison with Salammbo. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Translated by Hugh Tredennick and Harold Tarrant.Introduction and Notes by Harold Tarrant." Author Biography Gustave Flaubert was born in Rouen in 1821, the son of a distinguished surgeon and a doctors daughter. After three unhappy years of studying law in Paris, an epileptic attack ushered him into a life of writing. Madame Bovary won instant acclaim upon book publication in 1857, but Flauberts frank display of adultery in bourgeois France saw him go on trial for immorality, only narrowly escaping conviction. Both Salammbo (1862) and The Sentimental Education (1869) were poorly received, and Flauberts genius was not publicly recognized until Three Tales (1877). His reputation among his fellow writers, however, was more constant and those who admired him included Turgenev, George Sand, Victor Hugo and Zola. Flauberts obsession with his art is legendary- he would work for days on a single page, obsessively attuning sentences, seeking always le mot juste in a quest for both beauty and precise observation. His style moved Edmund Wilson to say,Flaubert, by a single phrase - a notation of some commonplace object - can convey all the poignance of human desire, the pathos of human defeat; his description of some homely scene will close with a dying fall that reminds one of great verse or music. Flaubert died suddenly in May 1880, leaving his last work, Bouvard and Pecuchet, unfinished.
